Joseph Surace

Joseph Surace, LISW, focuses on helping people identify their primary goals in therapy and the problems that are preventing forward movement. He works with adults addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, self esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and related concerns such as guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, panic and phobias, and social anxiety. His descriptions emphasize clients who recognize a desire for change and are prepared to engage in the work therapy requires.

Surace describes an approach that blends empathy with practical skill-building. He values strong rapport while offering tools clients can use between sessions. He prefers to work with individuals who are self-motivated rather than those participating primarily due to external pressure. Based in Ohio, he practices in English and brings eight years of professional experience to his clinical work.
